WTB - Presto 8N platter and shaft

[EpicenterBryan]

Hey guys,
I'm in need of a platter and shaft for a Presto 8N. I could make a 6N, 6D, 6E or 8D work as well.
I bought a package deal from a "picker", and the platter turned out not to be for this (not rim drive).

The motor, bracket and drive collar is also missing.
Anyone have something to sell?

The platter I have is identical to that one. I'm thinking about going that way because that guy also have the shaft and bearing - and I also have a dual motor direct drive set up that also came from a Presto 64. So I could turn the 8N into an 8NG / 64 Frankenstein.

hi ..I can make you one ..but it will cost too much to do and send..easier to find a CNC machinest near to you to get one made..
my sexy 1967 Hamatu lathe can do this size..

I can certainly supply a motor pulley and bracket. Here's some examples:

Regarding the platter, making one would most likely be an expensive proposition. If you ever decide to go that way, you might prefer a proper vacuum platter. Otherwise, better hunt down a used one.
